We're enabling the next generation of Amazon to really grow
我们正在为亚马逊的下一代发展提供支持，助力其真正实现增长。
2
and realize their full potential and driving the economy forward because this is the future of logistics.
充分发挥其全部潜力，推动经济向前发展，因为这就是物流的未来。
3
I'm Andre, Chief Growth Officer at BrightPick,
我是安德烈，BrightPick 的首席增长官。
4
and we're developing the next generation of warehouse robotics.
我们正在开发下一代仓库机器人技术。
5
Our mission is really to enable any warehouse,
我们的使命实际上是让所有仓库都能实现
6
large or small, to fully automate their order fulfillment in a matter of weeks.
无论规模大小，都能在短短几周内实现订单履行的全自动化。
7
So right now we're standing in one of our installations
现在我们正站在我们的一个设施里。
8
where we pretty much automated the entire fulfillment process using close to 50 BrightPick Autopicker robots.
我们几乎使用了近50台BrightPick Autopicker机器人，实现了整个履约流程的自动化。
9
I'm going to show you around so you can see how it looks.
我带你四处看看，你就能知道它是什么样子了。
10
So our flagship robot is called BrightPick Autopicker
我们的旗舰机器人名为BrightPick Autopicker。
11
and it's actually the only mobile robot in the world that not only transports items but can also robotically pick them.
它实际上是世界上唯一一款不仅能运输物品，还能通过机械臂自动抓取物品的移动机器人。
12
And the big advantage with that is it actually does the pick directly in and out.
这样做的一大优势是它实际上可以直接进行取放操作。
13
And we actually took a lot of inspiration from the way humans do picking because humans,
实际上，我们从人类进行分拣的方式中获得了很多灵感，因为人类……
14
they go directly from one pick to the next and that is actually the most efficient way to pick orders.
他们直接从一个拣选点前往下一个拣选点，这实际上是拣选订单最有效的方式。
15
Basically, what we did is you can think of BrightPick Autopicker
基本上，我们所做的，你可以理解为BrightPick Autopicker
16
as almost like a human with a cart moving from one location in the warehouse to the next
几乎就像一个推着推车在仓库里从一个位置移动到另一个位置的人
17
and doing the picks as it goes on.
并随着比赛的进行不断做出选择。
18
In fact, we're getting pretty close to human level performance and at a fraction of the cost.
事实上，我们已经非常接近人类的表现水平，而且成本仅为其一小部分。
19
So the way the robotic picking process works is the robots,
因此，机器人拣选流程的运作方式是，机器人
20
they retrieve a storage tote from the shelving,
他们从货架上取下一个收纳箱，
21
they scan the storage tote,
他们扫描储物箱。
22
create a 3D model of the tote.
创建这款托特包的3D模型。
23
Then we have an AI engine which tells the robot what item to pick based on probability of success,
然后我们有一个AI引擎，它会根据成功概率告诉机器人应该抓取哪个物品。
24
and then the robot picks that item from the storage toad into the order toad.
然后机器人会将该物品从存储槽中取出，放入订单槽中。
25
The thing with robotic picking is that inevitably the robots will not be able to pick some items some of the time.
关于机器人拣选，不可避免的情况是，机器人有时会无法拣选某些物品。
26
I think anyone who tells you they can pick all items 100% of the time are lying, frankly.
坦白说，我觉得那些声称自己总能百分百选对所有物品的人都是在撒谎。
27
It's a big challenge in robotic picking in terms of what do you do as a fallback in that scenario.
在机器人拣选领域，当出现这种情况时该采取何种应对措施是一个巨大的挑战。
28
We're actually not entirely relying on robotic picking here.
实际上，我们在这里并没有完全依赖机器人拣选。
29
We incorporated a couple of goods-to-person stations into this installation,
我们在这套设备中集成了几个货到人工作站。
30
both as a fallback in case the robots can't pick the items,
既作为机器人无法抓取物品时的备用方案，
31
but also for items that aren't ideally suited for robotic picking.
也适用于那些并不完全适合机器人拣选的物品。
32
So let's say items that are heavier or that have a changing center of gravity,
所以比如说那些更重或者重心会发生变化的物品，
33
like liquids, for example.
比如液体之类的。
34
So this is our goods to person station right here.
这就是我们的货到人工作站。
35
It actually works on the same principle as the robotic picking.
它的工作原理实际上与机器人拣选相同。
36
So each auto picker brings both the storage tote and the order tote to a human operator.
因此，每台自动拣选机都会将存储周转箱和订单周转箱一同运送到人工操作员处。
37
There's a tablet that tells him exactly how many items and
有一块平板电脑能准确告诉他物品的数量以及
38
which items he needs to pick and then the operator picks it from one tote to the other tote.
他需要拣选哪些物品，然后操作人员将这些物品从一个料箱拣取放到另一个料箱中。
39
So it's super simple, pretty ergonomic.
所以它非常简单，人体工学设计也很出色。
40
The robots they raise both totes to waist height.
他们操控的机器人将两个储物箱都抬到了腰部高度。
41
They actually have four different sides.
它们实际上有四个不同的侧面。
42
So what that enables us to do is to feed the human operator from four sides at the same time.
这样一来，我们就可以同时从四个方向向操作人员输送物料。
43
So during peak hours when it's really busy,
所以在高峰时段，也就是特别繁忙的时候，
44
there's basically four robots at the station at any given point in time,
基本上在任何时候，站点里都有四台机器人。
45
which means there's like zero idle time in between fixed.
这意味着在两次固定操作之间几乎没有空闲时间。
46
A really important part of our philosophy is product simplicity and cost.
我们理念中非常重要的一部分是产品的简洁性与成本控制。
47
You can see like we use a pretty simple SCAR arm on the robots.
你可以看到，我们在机器人上使用的是一种相当简单的 SCAR 机械臂。
48
It's two axes, the end effector is pretty flexible
它有两个轴，末端执行器的灵活性相当高。
49
and we could have of horse stuck like an expensive six-axis arm on the robot,
我们本可以把马像昂贵的六轴机械臂一样固定在机器人上。
50
but that would have basically doubled the cost for an extra 10% of performance.
但那样一来，为了额外10%的性能，成本基本上会翻一倍。
51
There's no point in doing that
做那件事毫无意义。
52
when basically what we do in those 10% of the edge cases is we take those items to a human operator,
在那 10% 的极端情况下，我们基本上会把这些问题转交给人工操作员处理。
53
which you would anyways need because even if you have the most expensive robotic picker in the world,
反正你总归是需要它的，因为就算你拥有世界上最昂贵的机械采摘机，
54
there's still going to be some items when the robot can't pick them.
仍然会有一些物品是机器人无法抓取的。
55
So you anyways have to solve for that.
反正你总得解决这个问题。
56
And I think that's I think that's a really important part to understand about the whole BrightBix system is
我认为，要理解整个 BrightBix 系统，这一点非常重要。
57
it's designed with simplicity in mind.
它的设计理念是追求简洁。
58
So there's a lot of super complicated features,
所以这里有很多非常复杂的功能，
59
AI, you know, the software orchestration behind it.
你知道的，就是AI背后的软件编排技术。
60
But the actual process of working with the robots and installing it in the warehouse,
但实际与这些机器人协作并将其部署到仓库中的过程，
61
it's super simple, right?
这超级简单，对吧？
62
You see I'm like walking around with the robots.
你看，我就像是在和机器人一起走来走去。
63
Of course, usually we all want people to do that because it slows down the system.
当然，通常我们都希望人们那样做，因为这会拖慢系统速度。
64
But it's perfectly safe, you know,
但你知道，这绝对是安全的。
65
you don't need any safety fencing.
你不需要任何安全防护围栏。
66
There's no QR codes on the floor for navigation.
地面上没有用于导航的二维码。
67
We use LiDARs and AI.
我们使用激光雷达和人工智能。
68
The shelving, it's like very cheap.
这个置物架感觉特别廉价。
69
It's basically the same shelving you can buy in Home Depot,
这基本上就是你能在Home Depot买到的那种货架。
70
which also means like you can install in a matter of weeks and even move the shelving from one warehouse to another,
这也意味着你可以在几周内完成安装，甚至可以将货架从一个仓库移到另一个仓库。
71
which, you know, it's pretty important.
你也知道，这一点非常重要。
72
You don't want to build like a monument in your warehouse that you're stuck with for the next 10 years.
你总不希望在仓库里建一个像纪念碑一样的东西，接下来十年都摆脱不掉。
73
That's actually the reason we purposefully don't use any conveyors because,
这其实就是我们特意不使用任何传送带的原因，因为
74
you know, once you build a conveyor good luck moving that.
你知道，一旦传送带安装好了，再想移动它可就难了。
75
That's basically why we developed the system is to enable any retailer to automate their fulfillment in a matter of weeks.
我们开发这个系统的根本原因，就是为了让所有零售商都能在短短几周内实现履约流程自动化。
76
This is really like a decade of development behind this.
这背后真的像是经过了十年的发展积累。
77
I mean first we developed the 3D scanner which is actually from our sister company Photo Neo.
我的意思是，首先我们开发了这款3D扫描仪，它实际上来自我们的姊妹公司Photo Neo。
78
We then developed the AI picking engine.
随后我们开发了AI拣选引擎。
79
I think we've done close to a billion picks by now to train our AI.
我认为到目前为止，我们已经进行了近十亿次选择来训练我们的人工智能。
80
We then developed a mobile platform,
随后我们开发了一个移动平台，
81
all the software orchestration that goes with that.
与之配套的所有软件编排工作。
82
We actually had a goods-to-person solution before this,
在此之前，我们其实已经有一套货到人拣选方案了。
83
but then ultimately we brought it all together inside the Autopicker.
但最终我们把所有功能都整合到了 Autopicker 里面。
84
And now this robot can do everything you need for order fulfilling, right?
现在这个机器人可以完成订单履约所需的所有工作，对吧？
85
Like robotic picking, goods-to-person picking,
与机器人拣选一样，货到人拣选
86
pallet picking, order buffering, consolidation, dispatch, replenishment.
托盘拣选、订单暂存、集货、发货、补货。
87
When we think of BrightPick Autopicker as basically a humanoid in all but name,
当我们将BrightPick Autopicker视为一个除了名称之外本质上就是人形机器人的设备时，
88
If you think about what a human picker does in a warehouse,
如果你想想仓库里人工拣货员的工作内容，
89
it's basically the same, except auto pickers are able to do it much faster, more efficient.
基本上是一样的，只是自动采摘机的速度要快得多，效率也更高。
90
It's literally a tenth of the cost of a humanoid.
它的成本简直只有人形机器人的十分之一。
91
We don't believe in technology for technology's sake.
我们不相信为技术而技术的做法。
92
Why do you need a human form factor when you can basically achieve human level performance at a fraction of the cost?
既然只需花费一小部分成本就能基本达到人类级别的性能，为什么还需要人形形态呢？
93
So a common misconception that people have about robotics is that we're taking away people's jobs,
人们对机器人技术普遍存在一个误解，认为我们正在夺走人类的工作。
94
but the reality is actually completely opposite because pretty much every customer that buys our solution,
但实际情况却完全相反，因为几乎每一个购买我们解决方案的客户
95
they're dealing with massive labor shortages,
他们正面临严重的劳动力短缺问题。
96
whether it's in logistics or in manufacturing,
无论是在物流领域还是制造业领域，
97
and there's simply not enough people to meet demand because we have a shrinking labor force.
而且由于劳动力人口正在萎缩，根本没有足够的人手来满足需求。
98
These are physically tough jobs.
这些都是对体力要求很高的工作。
99
Imagine walking two marathons a week just to pick orders,
想象一下，为了拣选订单，每周要走两场马拉松的路程。
100
and there's not enough people to fill the demand, basically.
而且基本上没有足够的人手来满足需求。
101
For example, this customer right here,
比如说，这位顾客，
102
they had to actively turn off their marketing spend because they didn't have enough people in their warehouse to pick orders.
他们不得不主动停止营销支出，因为仓库里没有足够的人手来处理订单拣选。
103
And now after they installed our solution,
现在，在他们安装了我们的解决方案之后，
104
they're able to grow it 100%.
他们能够让它完全生长。
105
It was basically like three people servicing our entire system.
基本上就只有三个人在维护我们整个系统。
106
Whereas before they would have needed 20, 30 people here.
而在此之前，他们这里需要20到30个人。
107
Another feature that's unique to BrightPick is what we call pallet picking.
BrightPick独有的另一项功能是我们所说的托盘拣选。
108
And this is actually, imagine you have items that are fast movers.
实际上，你可以想象一下，你有一些周转很快的商品。
109
So let's say you're putting in samples or you're basically selling products that go into every order or every second order.
假设你会随订单附赠样品，或者说基本上每笔订单、每两笔订单就会附赠一些产品。
110
It doesn't really make sense to put those items into the system
把那些项目录入系统其实没什么意义。
111
because you're going to be replenishing them almost as fast as you're taking them out.
因为你补充它们的速度几乎和你取出它们的速度一样快。
112
So what we developed, what we call these pallet picking positions,
因此，我们开发了一种被称为托盘拣选位的装置。
113
where basically human operators are able to pick directly from pallets or from cases,
在这种场景下，操作人员可以直接从托盘或货箱中拣取货物。
114
which you see stored behind them,
你可以看到它们后面存放着的那些东西
115
and place them onto the order tote at the robot.
并将它们放到机器人旁的订单周转箱上。
116
So that basically makes the replenishment process super easy,
这样一来，补货流程就变得非常简单了。
117
where all you do is you stick a pallet there or you throw a case there,
你要做的只是把一个托盘放在那里，或者把一个货箱扔到那里。
118
and then the robot pulls up,
然后机器人停了下来，
119
tells the human operator on the tablet what item to pick,
它会在平板电脑上告知操作人员需要拣选的物品。
120
and the human can pick that item and place it onto the robot.
然后人类可以拿起那个物品，把它放到机器人上。
121
So you really get that flexibility of robotic picking,
因此，您真正能享受到机器人拣选的灵活性，
122
GTP picking, and pallet picking,
GTP 拣选和托盘拣选
123
all as part of one system.
全部作为一个系统的组成部分。
124
You really don't need any other picking.
你真的不需要再挑别的了。
125
So this right here is the buffer area,
这里就是缓冲区。
126
and actually this is a 24-7 operation,
实际上这是一个全天候24小时不间断运行的业务。
127
so the robots are working even at night when there's practically no one in the warehouse.
所以即使在仓库里几乎没有人的夜晚，机器人也在工作。
128
and what they're doing is after they pick the orders,
他们所做的就是在拣选完订单之后，
129
they buffer them in this area.
他们在这个区域对其进行缓冲处理。
130
And then once the morning shift comes in,
然后等到早班人员到岗后，
131
they take them out, deliver them to pack out to be packed and shipped.
他们把货物取出来，送到包装区进行包装后发运。
132
Another use case is imagine you have an order that consists of 10 picks,
另一个用例是，假设你有一个包含10个拣选任务的订单，
133
but only nine of them are robotically pickable.
但其中只有九个可以通过机器人拾取。
134
So the robots are gonna pick those nine items overnight,
所以机器人会在夜间把那九件商品分拣好，
135
buffer them, and then when the morning shift comes in,
先把它们缓存起来，等早班人员到岗后再处理。
136
it's gonna do that last 10th pick using the goods to person or pallet station.
它将采用货到拣选或托盘工作站完成最后第10次拣选任务。
137
And basically then the order is complete.
这样一来，订单就基本完成了。
138
So because we have such a high level of automation,
由于我们的自动化程度非常高，
139
we're able to easily operate at night because you practically don't need anyone to run the system.
我们能够在夜间轻松操作，因为这套系统几乎不需要人工值守。
140
We're now in a hyper-growth mode.
我们目前正处于高速增长阶段。
141
We're really focused on ramping up our manufacturing because we already get more demand than we can meet for our solution.
我们正全力提升制造产能，因为目前我们的解决方案的市场需求已经超出了供应能力。
142
So now it's really about laying down the groundwork to make
所以现在关键是要打好基础，以便
143
sure we can manufacture as many of these robots as possible and really ensure that they're as reliable as possible.
我们当然可以尽可能多地制造这些机器人，并切实确保它们具备最高的可靠性。
144
We understand that these are mission critical processes,
我们深知这些都是关键任务流程，
145
so we make sure that each robot can really operate five,
因此我们确保每台机器人都能真正操作五台设备。
146
10 years without breaking down.
10年无故障。
147
This is one of many installations that we've already done.
这是我们已经完成的众多安装项目之一。
148
We have many more in the pipeline,
我们还有更多项目正在筹备中。
149
so right now it's rolling up our sleeves and getting to work.
所以现在，我们要卷起袖子开始干活了。

逐步影子跟读指南
为了提高您在观看此视频时的英语水平，您可以依照以下步骤进行影子跟读练习， 提高英语发音 和流利度：
- 观看视频片段：专心观看视频的前1-2分钟，注意讲者的发音、语调和节奏。
- 逐句模仿：暂停视频，逐句重复讲者的内容，尝试模仿他们的语音语调，特别是其中的关键短语。
- 关键词记忆：结合视频中的日常短语，进行反复训练，以便在日常交流中自如使用。
- 反复练习：反复进行影子跟读，直到您能够在没有停顿的情况下流畅输出。
- 自我录音：录下您自己的声音，然后与视频中的原声进行对比，注意发音和节奏的差异。
通过这样的影子跟读练习，您能有效提升口语能力，尤其在进行雅思口语练习时，将更加得心应手。同时，建议结合 看YouTube学英语 的视频，以丰富您的学习方式。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | is called · aren't ideally suited · be packed |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | we've done · we've already done |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | anyone who tells · scanner which is |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
